If you're put off by a good debate, then no, you probably shouldn't read anymore. This is a discussion forum, and that's what we are having.
Kathy will tell you it is VERY hard to label something as a hatchling as a sunglow. Amels change colors so much over the first year, it's a very big risk to label something as a sunglow unless you've bred those same parents year after year and get sunglows.
The poster said the parents have thrown sunglows before. That comment leads me to believe that there are some sunglows, but some are also amels. Based on that statement and the picture of the snake, I wouldn't call it a sunglow. It might develop into one down the road, but it's not one right now.
